Abstract
1476837 Printing columns of text INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 31 Oct 1975 [22 Jan 1975] 45266/75 Heading G4H Corresponding portions of a plurality of sequentially stored text columns (each of which contains a plurality of lines) are printed on the same print line prior to causing a printer carrier return so as to form a side-by-side column format, by a method comprising the steps of defining locations for printing lines of each of the columns, printing a line of one of the stored columns on a print line in an appropriate location, and printing a corresponding line, if any, from each of the other columns on the same print line in the appropriate location. The printer system (Fig. 13, not shown) comprises a keyboard (1) and a printer (2), a buffer (19) and control (17), a multi-column playout control (45) and an output format control (46). The control (Fig. 14, not shown) allows insertion, deletion and order changing of characters circulated through the buffer. The format control (Fig. 17, not shown) includes circuitry for justification calculations, and the column control (Fig. 16, not shown) is used to control the printer and the format control and to generate, inter alia, operation flag f and column marker CM signals. Fig. 5 shows the buffer contents for printing the page shown in Fig. 1, after printing of the two complete lines X and before printing the first line of column A. During set up for input keying, the following codes had been stored: beginning of memory BOM, the mode (justification j) to be used first, and an overall measure M1, M2. A tab field TAB1, TAB2 had also been set up to define the column locations. For columns which are stored sequentially but printed side-by-side, a column begin code CB is stored as shown. Each column is then keyed and stored in its entirety, a column end code CE being keyed and stored at the end of the last column. (Columns A, B have the same mode and measure J, M1, M2 which is stored with column A; column C requires a left flush code L and new M1, M2.) Upon playout, the buffer is scanned when a CB code is encountered and operation flag f is inserted into the data flow after the first CB code; column marker code CM is also inserted after each subsequent CB code during the scan which, upon detection of CE, continues to the beginning of the memory. When f is again detected, following characters and spaces are printed in the defined mode until a CR is detected, when the printer tabs; during the column advance operation, CM is written over f and the memory is scanned, the next detected CM being written over with a new f. Print out then continues (for each line in turn) with CR detections and column advance operations until the end of each column is reached. After printout of all columns, the CM codes are deleted and the rest of the text y is printed.
